"During this period, there is still no progress in the study of this phenomenon in our institute, but every one of us knows that the progress of the disaster is accelerating, and every one of us is shrouded in negative emotions such as nai and fear … Thank you for making these contributions. This information is likely to change the fate of the whole human culture. Although this information reveals the truth so cruelly … the truth is not that we don’t know it or cover it up and it disappears."
In the face of Zhang Hong’s words, Zhao Lan didn’t know what to say, because Zhao Lan knew exactly that she wasn’t these things. The discoverer himself just took on the responsibility of a porter, but because he had an appointment with Li Yunfan, he couldn’t expose the base. Zhao Lan was very upset and took these praises.
Zhang Hong turned around and patted Zhao Lan on the shoulder. "I will immediately move the research institute to verify these things. After the verification is passed, I will immediately submit it to the Central Academy of Sciences and publish it to scientists in the human range to review Zhao Lan. Go to work first and I will keep in touch with you at any time."
Zhao Lanru received amnesty and immediately left Zhang Hong’s office and then returned to his post.
A few days passed in a hurry. During this period, the information submitted by Zhao Lan was evaluated several times in the research department. Researchers from all walks of life participated in the discussion, which greatly enriched the information from the details. Zhang Hong also moved the advanced scientific research instruments of the research institute, which greatly moved the most powerful computer in human literature. After checking the data and models, he finally finalized the information and handed it over to the Central Academy of Sciences.
The cooperation of many researchers in the First Five-Year Research Institute made Zhao Lan clearly realize one thing, that is, no matter how strong one’s personal ability is, it is also a method. Compared with a huge body, the team of scientists led by Li Yunfan is undoubtedly excellent, but the information they have drawn up still looks a little rough, just like a big tree with a trunk but no branches. Although the trunk is the most important part of the tree, it can’t live without branches.
The workers in the First Five-Year Research Institute have greatly supplemented this information from the aspects of mathematical structure, high-energy physics, extreme supernova explosion, warping, gravitational field, magnetic field, cosmic high-energy rays, etc. The number of pages of this information has been expanded from 30 pages to more than 200 pages, which is just a researcher. Zhao Lan knows that after this information is submitted to the Central Academy of Sciences for supplement and research by all outstanding scientists in the human scope, it will be ten times less, and every smallest factor in the cosmic environment that may have an impact on Lobachevsky will be considered by human beings.
This is not a team or a base or a research institute can complete the work, even if Li Yunfan is capable, Li Yunfan can’t say that he can complete this job.
After submitting this information to the Central Academy of Sciences, the research work of the First Five-Year Plan has become a simple statistic and record of which celestial bodies disappear every day. Because there are so many celestial bodies that disappear abnormally, the researchers even specially issued an automatic recording software to record the newly acquired data every day.
In this short period of less than half a month, Zhao Lan watched the data skyrocket from 100,000 to millions of celestial bodies, and the abnormal disappearance speed was accelerating. Zhao Lan knew that this meant that … the earth’s falling speed was also accelerating.
On this day, Zhang Hong found Zhao Lan in a hurry and said to Zhao Lan, "The document we submitted has been preliminarily reviewed by the Central Academy of Sciences. In five days, there will be a meeting of professionals from all disciplines and industries of mankind. We will discuss this issue together. I was informed that you are also invited to join me in this meeting."
Chapter one hundred and fifty-one What is the earth?
㈧○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○○
In the scientific community, Zhao Lanhao doubts whether it is the first time for a younger generation to attend such a high-standard meeting, and he can’t help but feel excited when he thinks that he can directly face so many scientific giants and idols in the meeting.
Five days later, the meeting was still full, but Zhao Lan and Zhang Hong did not dare to neglect them. Together, they took the Zhao Lan Silvia spacecraft and once again set foot on the way back to Earth.
The psychological shadow caused by an incident to Zhao Lan has not faded, but this time Zhang Hong is traveling with him, and Zhang Hong has already gained a certain position and reputation in the scientific community, but he is not afraid of any more accidents with such a scientist.
The two men hurried back to the earth, then discussed some details with some scientists on the earth, and made some calibrations on some data and logical calculation process in this information, and then slipped away quietly. This time, it was time to call the whole conference on the fate of humanity.
The meeting was held in an auditorium of the central government in the capital city. The performers included all the important figures in human society, not only scientists from various disciplines but also people in the government. The total number of participants in this meeting has exceeded 2,000.
Zhao Lan was the first speaker invited to the rostrum by the meeting host after the head of state’s speech. It was the first time that Zhao Lan experienced such an occasion. At the same time, Zhao Lan was a little excited and ashamed. The excitement was because she was a junior in the scientific community and could get such treatment. Shame was because Zhao Lan knew that all these achievements were actually not hidden in Li Yunfan’s base, and those teams of surgeons who drifted away from the mainstream scientific community made these achievements. They just topped a name.
"I’m not a vain generation. If you can be in the sunshine one day, I will definitely return all the honors to you," Zhao Lan thought silently.
In the spotlight, in front of the microphone, facing thousands of pairs of eyes in the auditorium, Zhao Lanping recovered his excitement and then opened his mouth.
"Hello, everyone, I’m a researcher from the First Five-Year Research Institute. I’m Zhao Lan," Zhao Lan said slowly. "Presumably, everyone already knows what happened in our satellites recently … from about a few months ago, I observed the first abnormal disappearance of celestial bodies. It was a quasar that was more than one billion light years away from us. It was still in the field of vision of my telescope for a moment, but it disappeared in a moment."
"I submitted an observation report to the Central Academy of Sciences, and then I learned that the phenomenon of abnormal disappearance of stars was not an isolated case. In the following months, the number quickly climbed to millions, and millions of known and recorded celestial bodies disappeared from our human vision. We didn’t know what this meant, but by chance, I found that the value of pi around our earth was not the same as that calculated by us …"
Zhao Lan briefly told a story after his own discovery for more than ten minutes, and then explained to all the participants in the form of virtual animation a Lobachevsky bend and the fall of the earth.
Most scientists actually didn’t know about this event. Yesterday, they were working in various research institutes all over the sun and the earth’s surface. After receiving an urgent notice to attend this meeting, they got such heavy news that … the earth is likely to fall out of this universe after a while.
"According to the calculation of curvature, we speculate that if there is no accident, the earth will completely leave the present universe and enter another strange place in less than five years. At that time, none of the stars will disappear at night, even the sun will disappear, because in the calculation, the sun will not fall into the strange place with the earth. We know what is in it and what is the environment, but we are almost sure that there will not be a star in a stable state waiting for us at a suitable distance in that strange place."
Zhao Lan didn’t say anything about the cosmic incident because the law leaked Li Yunfan’s incident. Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether the cosmic intelligence was released in this incident
"And this is undoubtedly a disaster for our human culture. Our greatest possibility and luckiest possibility is to fall into a wilderness. In that place, the nearest stars may be millions of light years away. We have no distance from us, but we can develop a springboard for interstellar navigation. In other words, we will be trapped in the earth and our human culture will perish after running out of earth resources."
After Zhao Lan finished this sentence, a scientist raised his hand and Zhao Lan motioned, "Please say if you have any questions."
The scientist said, "although I don’t know the details of the star disaster yet, I still have a question through your story, that is, are you sure that the earth is about to fall into that place?"
Zhao Lan replied, "It is precisely because the earth keeps falling to that strange place that the stars in our field of vision disappear, and if there are many stars in that universe, some of those stars’ light should also reach the earth because of the earth’s falling. The changes we observed on the earth should be the disappearance of some old celestial bodies and the appearance of some new celestial bodies, while we observed the disappearance of the old celestial bodies but did not observe the appearance of new celestial bodies. We can be sure that the strange place must be bleak, and we have not observed the appearance of new radiation sources in other bands of gamma rays, which also proves that from another aspect.
The scientist nodded and sat down, and then another scientist raised his hand.
"I have been in contact with this star disaster before, and I have always had an idea in my mind that since we have known the curvatures of various places and established a model here, we can find a’ point’ that is straight near the earth and is not affected by the surrounding bending environment through calculation. At this point, we should be able to observe all the celestial bodies that have disappeared from the earth’s field of vision. I wonder if you have verified this question?"
**** *w*w*w********
Zhao Lan nodded his head. The result of the verification is that all the stars that seem to disappear near the earth reappear in the middle of that particular observation point, which strongly proves our view that the stars have not changed because the earth or the surrounding environment of the earth has changed. At the same time, this verification also shows that our model and calculation in Lobachevsky are correct. It also means that our prediction that the earth will fall into a strange place is correct. We have the details of this verification process, which will be distributed to everyone with the detailed introduction of this event later.
"OK, thank you." The scientist thanked him and sat down in his seat.
Another scientist got up. "Have you ever studied the cause of the distortion?"
Zhao Lan replied, "I have done some research, but I didn’t get anything. Maybe a super alien passing by threw out a twisted weapon at random, or a special area was formed due to some unknown physical process in the universe … There may be too many reasons. Who knows what is going on?"
This scientist asked another scientist his own question. "I noticed that the event of the abnormal disappearance of celestial bodies almost coincided with the eruption of the star Haishan II. Have you studied whether the two are related?"
"My team and I have done research," Zhao Lan replied. "Although we can’t be sure, we don’t think the two bases are coincidental. They have a high probability of cause and effect. We think the most likely situation is that there is a small distorted area in the sun that has no effect on the earth’s sun. It was suddenly expanded because of the energy excited by the eruption of Haishan II, or it affected this area, which eventually caused us to be in crisis with high-energy gamma rays and mesoscale storms. We will attach it to the detailed research materials and send it to you later."
Another scientist got up and said, "I have a question to ask you … There are so many planets in this universe that even there are dozens of dwarf planets in our sun. Why is it the earth?" Why is the earth going to suffer such bad luck? "
Chapter one hundred and fifty-two Question
The scientist’s question plunged the whole venue into silence. Indeed, as he said, due to the influence of Lobachevsky, the whole planet disappeared from the universe and fell into another strange place. There is no doubt that this is a small probability event. When human beings have modern technology for hundreds of years, human language has never seen such a thing, even if it is unimaginable.
So … There are so many rivers, so many stars and so many planets in the universe. Why is the earth? What is it that has nurtured human civilization and is still supporting human civilization and developing the earth? Is there anything special about the earth?
Zhao Lan once thought about this question. Although she didn’t think out the exact answer, Zhao Lan can still answer this question.
"My answer is … this question is meaningless," Zhao Lan sighed. "In former earth times, people were also puzzled by the question that there were so many smokers who didn’t get cancer. Why did I, a non-smoker, get cancer? If you own a chicken farm and you have 100,000 chickens, and one day you decide to catch a chicken, slaughter it and eat it, will the chicken that happens to be caught by you think the same way? There are 100,000 chickens, so why do you want to catch me? One in 100,000 … "
"All your questions are meaningless," Zhao Lan said. "In this way, we can ask which planet the small probability event theory happened on, but it will still happen … Now that it has happened, it is a wave of time and energy to complain about unfair fate or bad luck."
The scientist was silent for a moment and then bowed to Zhao Lan. "Thank you for your answer. I understand that I am just sighing about the fate of our human culture … Just hundreds of years ago, we just experienced a disaster that almost destroyed our culture. If your ancestor Zhao Huasheng hadn’t saved the day, we might have become extinct. Now we haven’t spent much time in peace, and now we have encountered such a thing again … It seems too bumpy."
"But what can we do? It is better to complain that our fate is unfair than that we are not strong enough. "Zhao Lan took a look at the Fuehrer intentionally and then continued," I noticed that technically speaking, we humans have completely possessed the ability to March into Jupiter at the moment, but we humans have not taken this step yet. We seem to have satisfied what we have achieved now. There is no crisis, and we lost our initiative to continue to set out for Saturn. A solar crisis created it. With the rapid development of human science and technology, we have two great buildings, the Earth Port and the Mars Port, but this rapid development has only lasted for a hundred years and then it has come to a standstill. Now we are once again facing a crisis of life and death. I wonder how much our science and technology will develop this time? "
A touch of flush appeared on Zhao Lan’s cheek because of excitement. These words have been hovering in Zhao Lan’s mind for a long time. Now I finally have the opportunity to say them on this important occasion of the fate of human culture. Zhao Lan doesn’t know what consequences it will bring to herself. Zhao Lan knows that if I don’t say these words now, I will regret it all my life.
"But I want to ask why we didn’t get angry until the crisis came? What made it impossible to develop science and technology in the past peaceful times when we had more money and more material support? If a scientific and technological explosion can last for 300 years instead of 100 years, we may have already stepped out of the sun, and the fall of the earth could threaten our human roots? "
Zhao Lan said, and turned around and bowed deeply to the heads of all departments in the humanities department sitting next to him. Then he said, "Fuhrer … can you answer this question for me?"
There was a burst of discussion in the venue, and Zhang Hong’s face in the square seat was a bit anxious. Zhang Hong clearly knew what Zhao Lan’s words meant. This was questioning the entire policy of several heads of state before this head of state, and what was Zhao Lan’s identity? You know Zhao Lan is just an ordinary researcher in the Institute of Academia Sinica …
"Zhao Lan, Zhao Lan, you are too bold. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers …" Zhang Hong sighed with anxiety in his heart. "You are really …"
Among the more than 2,000 participants, there are many respected scientific predecessors and experts and scholars who have a deep understanding of the development process of humanities. However, in the past 200 years, during the process of several dazzling new stars rising and disappearing with time, no one has ever asked such a question to the Fuehrer. None of them have.
Compared with Zhao Huasheng and Zhao Lan, Zhao Lan is not outstanding. Even in his discipline, Zhao Lan can only be regarded as ordinary. If Zhao Lan is not lucky, he can’t even get the title of the first person to discover the phenomenon of abnormal disappearance of celestial bodies. Zhao Lan is so ordinary, but at the moment, several outstanding people are not aware of this problem, or they are aware of it, but because of various concerns, they have not asked this question to the whole human leader. Now ordinary Zhao Lan has no scruples to ask this question.
